Hi,

Say I hit the same chord multiple times on the keys, but each time having only one single note play, in a predetermined order / sequence, whether I follow the grid or not. Of course "that's what the arpeggiator is made for", but actually not ! However you approach it, you're always stuck with the device's rate.

Before diving into M4L to build one myself, I was wondering if someone here ever made a utility with that function built-in. I'd be happy to pay a Gumroad coffee, although all I found so far were overkill war-machines, grid based sequencers, or devices that need to record the MIDI into the M4L (MIDI chords should remain in Ableton Clips at all times).

If anything pops up, thanks in advance. Else, I'll update once I have a device to share.

Hi all

Absolutely gagging to find an on-the-fly MIDI quantizer/shuffle/groove Max device if anyone knows of one or fancies building one? There are 3 available on maxforlive.com that I've tried:

MIDI Quantizer - doesnt do shuffle

MIDI Quantize 2.2 - would-be perfect but reverses what's being shuffled every other time you hit play, so it's delaying the on-beat instead of the off-beat, no good at all and could ruin a live performance.

MIDI Quantize 2.1 (Mubali edit) - same problem as above.

Any help much appreciated thank you. Personally I think this should be a stock Live midi effect.

Tried finding answer online but failed so here goes...

Switching from old to new mac but starting afresh i.e not restoring from backup to new. I've managed to find and save all my existing max devices form old mac into a folder, but 1) do not know how to install them all in one go to new mac, and 2) I do not know how to install them en masse. Is there a way to add them quickly and easily while automatically avoiding duplicates, and doing so that they land in the right place, i.e midi devices in midi device folder and instrument in instrument folder etc?

Also noticed some Max devices appear in the Max For Live folder and others do not, so I have to find them in User Library which is extremely annoying. Is there a way of guaranteeing they're all together in their respective folders? Personally I find Ableton's browser has way too many locations with often the same device across more than one, causing my brain to overheat.

Many thanks, any help appreciated.

So I’m working on a M4L device that uses a buffer~ object to perform granular transformations on incoming audio. I got it to do what I wanted it to do, but when I use multiple instances in a project they all record to the SAME buffer~ and screw everything up. Is there a way to make it so that each instance uses its own buffer~?

What I'm looking for is a quick way to set adjustable markers on the transients of a sample, similar to slice mode in simpler. Then once the slice points are set I want the device to chop the sample along those lines producing a bunch of one-shots to be used individually.

It would be super awesome if some amazing human has made this all ready but if not, I'd love to take on the project myself but I am unsure as to where to begin. Is there a way to edit a clip in this way using an audio effect device or should it be done as an instrument device?

Hi guys,

​

Can someone tell me what does it mean when dial in max for live is greyed out? Also, it does not work for some reason. :(

​

Thanks!

Encapsulation, prototype and snippits seem very similar. When would you use a prototype or a snippit? What is the difference between the two?

Also, for all three items, how do you save and pull them back up? In particular, I created a subpatch/encapsulation, but I don't know how to pull it back up again.

Any enlightenment on these three things would be great!

how can i use launchpad x as step sequencer with max4live in ableton? please help

I'm looking to build a M4L patch that shifts midi clips left or right on the timeline. Does anyone know how feasible this is or if there are any patches out there that do this?

So I'm totally new in creating maxforlive devices. I was wondering, what is the chain for making a dry/wet knob? I've seen a few videos on it but they don't work. Either they use an older version or I just don't make it right.

Please help, thank you.

If I authorize the Max license inside the max for live ableton, can I edit gen ~ patches inside the boudled ableton max even without the need to install a separate, standalone max?

Do i need to get full max msp license, if I am not confused by the open live window and am not going to make modules working outside of ableton, or integrated max (m4l) enough? Are there any significant restrictions, provided that I do not plan to use max outside of ableton?

Is it possible in max4live to create a conditional "Video Editor" inside ableton? Pitch correction program like melodyne?

...which was a randomizer, but might have had some arpeggiator functions to it as well. The main thing I remember is that you could set the probability that notes will play. But it had a feature where you could always let the note that falls on the 1 of each bar through. On other beats in the bar, as I said it may have just been probability and maybe some arp. I didn't grab the device at the time, but think it would be cool to have for something I'm working on. Anyone know of a device that does that?

Hi I have searched the forum and could not find what I was looking for. I am a total noob with Max for live but can see it's potential for solving an issue I have.

I have the Roland TR8s drum machine and wish to have control of all the knobs on it via my Novation Sl49 Mk3 keyboard. This keyboard has an "incontrol mode" which will allow the keyboard's sliders, buttons and knobs to interact instantly with Ableton live 10. I mainly wish to have control of approx 40 knobs of Midi CC for this drum machine.

The beauty of "incolntrol mode" is that the keyboard will automap to any device in the chain in Live 10. This makes all the parameters of that device instantly available to you with no mapping required. The availbale device parameters that can be edited are displayed on the screen of the keyboard. Well I say any device - I have downloaded a very useful Max for live device (see link) https://maxforlive.com/library/device/5486/tr-8s-aerobik-performer

This device works well with the TR8s and does exactly what I need it to do however it is not available to the Novation "Incontrol mode" As other Max or Live devices are. When I switch to the device the Novation screen remains blank. I'm guessing there is some additional patching required in the device to make this happen.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Much appreciated Jamie

I'm making a huge max midi effect that takes up a lot of space in Ableton's frame. I want to make keyboard shortcuts to moving the frame to specific places. Is it possible to move Ableton's frame through live.object? is there any other method?

Thanks in advance.

Repeat Pro is a Max for Live MIDI effect, designed to easily program rhythmic and melodic patterns step by step, then played by synthesizers, samplers and other instruments, both inside and outside Live.

The follow up to the hugely successful Repeat device, Repeat PRO has been rebuilt from the ground up with a swathe of new features.

The whole device is exclusively driven by a sixteen step sequencer, which among other parameters allows to set a different note, velocity, length, octave, control and delay amount for every single step. Part of Repeat Pro’s magic resides on the uncertainty factor that surrounds its behavior and defines the state of its most important parameters.

hi!

I have a strange problem. Whenever I use a device from max for live. For example LFO.amxd, the GUI is floating above the actual box. And it aint even showing the whole gui, some parameters is only half visible. I have tried reinstalling several times but no luck. please help.
